Can't win, even with poison.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Morel for me is a question mark offensively, adding Flowers (read: another question mark) wouldn't make me comfortable going into the season. They're certainly question marks and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But 1-7...that's a solid setup. Everyone there ought to do damage, and there's a couple guys like Dunn who would be expected to do serious damage. The other 2 would be issues...but they would at least have some potential. And Hell, I'd call AJ a question mark even if he came back.

Arsenic might help.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) Maybe the the Sox throw Viciedo in the right field mix Really, this sounds like a terrible idea to me.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) Pierre Beckham Dunn DLee Rios Quentin Alexei AJP Morel You gotta admit, even if you swap out DLee and substitute in someone like Viciedo, and even if you swap in Flowers for AJ, that's still a decent lineup, and it could well be a very good lineup.

QUOTE (Big Daddy Kool @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) This was a no-brainer from the start. The next step is a 2-4 year deal. No reason for anything less than a 3 year deal.

Pat Burrell back to the Giants on a 1 year deal.

I think one of the guys just used the phrase "Demon sheep". Awesome.

Jumping the gun on this discussion, do you all think the Mono Lake bacteria are evidence of panspermia and arrived here from an extraterrestrial point of origin, or are they evidence that abiogenesis occurred on at least two distinct occasions on Earth? Either way, if they found what they think they found, I really think it is an utterly profound discovery. I think the answer is probably neither. From what they presented...it sounds like the DNA of these things seem at least quasi-ordinary, except for the presence of arsenic. Unless their really cool animation was inaccurate (which would be really F***ing disappointing because that was a cool animation), normal DNA structure, normal DNA basically, except with Arsenic substituted 1:1 for Phosphorus. My guess would be that these things are basically bugs that existed in a high arsenic, low-P environment, and a mutation allowed it to make use of As instead of P.

That's the most interesting pronunciation of "pH" I've ever heard.

Xylography might be a technique that would help with your statue-making.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) How excited would Sox fans be to enter 2011 with Adam LaRoche as our new 1st baseman? I'd be content, or so.

I'm a little concerned all of a sudden. These things might be in my bloodstream. News conference in 5 minutes or so at www.nasa.gov/ntv.

Useless to post in here when the rules change under your feet.

Stop cheating.

Kids, you're both pretty

Just watch as Tex's spellunk deteriorates.

Helps you feel smart and important.

Fiber seems like a benefit of that diet.

Do you bother chewing?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 01:37 PM) Not that I'm advocating it, but how is EJax not more tradable than Buehrle? Younger, better, cheaper, same number of years. Still would free up a fair amount of payroll. (Probably because other teams would want Buehrle).

Bren, you should try reading the last 3-4 pages. It's complete nonsense.

zeugmatography has failed to treat me.
